The Cajazeiro is a fruit tree, and one of the main problems in the commercial cultivation is the height of the tree - often more than 30mt. However, it is widely grown and popular in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast. The fruit itself is about 5 cm long and has a skin, a thin layer of meat, and a large seed and hard. The Caja is often consumed as fruit pulp and is valued as such. Its use is common in the preparation of juice, jelly, ice cream, yogurt, etc. One of the most delicious ways to test the Caja is in a Caipifruta - Fruit Cocktail - a beverage derived from the caipirinha.
